Chapter 420: 420

One year and not a day more. That was what Alexander had promised Luke. It was almost like an oath to keep the wolf going during his absence. Allias had seen their expressions. Had noticed the pain in Luke's eyes as Alexander decided it was his time to leave. He wanted to help, recommend something else, think of a way so Luke would not feel abandoned once more but he knew it was Alexander's decision to leave. 

No matter how stupid he was, childish and immature the king always had a soft spot for the new Alpha. Maybe because of the old feelings he had, maybe because he too had gone through hell ever since he met him. He didn't know why but seeing his face as he left the meeting room, Alexander still inside, Allias felt like his heart was breaking.

He had been crying, he noticed staring at the bloodshot grey eyes. 

"You can go in." He told the gods. "He will come with you."
